As stated in our response to the 2013 consultation, the vision makes little reference to the historic environment. Given that the NPPF requires local plans to set out a positive strategy for the conservation and enhancement of the historic environment (paragraph 126), the vision should contain explicit reference to how the Local Plan will address Ipswich's historic environment and heritage assets. Without such reference, we consider the Core Strategy is unsound as it is not consistent with national policy.
